Advanced Portable Restricted Tank Gauging System for Marine Applications
HERMetic UTImeter Rtex is a high-precision portable restricted gauging instrument specially designed for marine vessels, petroleum terminals, refineries, and chemical storage facilities. Offered by SMTS Marine Solutions LLC, this advanced gauging solution provides accurate ullage measurement, continuous temperature verification, and reliable oil-water interface detection while maintaining safe closed-tank operation.
The HERMetic UTImeter Rtex is widely used for custody transfer operations, inventory control, cargo monitoring, and free water detection in hazardous environments where precision and safety are critical.
What is Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Rtex?
The HERMetic UTImeter Rtex is a portable electronic gauging device engineered for restricted tank measurement applications on marine vessels and shore tanks. When connected to a HERMetic vapor control valve, the instrument allows operators to safely perform measurements under restricted conditions without exposing tank vapors to the atmosphere.
The unit combines three essential measurements in one operation:
- Ullage Level Measurement
- Temperature Verification
- Oil-Water Interface Detection
Its rugged modular construction, high measurement accuracy, and low maintenance requirements make it one of the most trusted portable gauging systems in the marine and oil & gas industries.
Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Rtex, one of the most trusted portable tank gauging instruments used across the marine, offshore, and terminal industries.Designed for safe restricted tank operations, the HERMetic UTImeter Rtex enables accurate ullage measurement, cargo temperature verification, and oil-water interface detection without exposing personnel or cargo tanks to unnecessary vapor emissions. Its robust design, high measurement accuracy, and international approvals make it an essential tool for tanker operators, marine surveyors, and terminal personnel worldwide.
